Subject: 70-Year Old Claims
However, some of what the insurance companies did was corrupt and immoral; claims to repay damages to stores that were looted and destroyed, not due to war, but because the owner was a Jew, were commonly denied. Again, due to the fact the Government (Nazis) considered a race of people non-citizens and vermin not elligible for the same protection as "pure" peoples. This they backed the insurance carriers into a corner (so to speak) and the claims were denied.
Life insurance poilices that were not paid, for the same reason. The deaths had NOTHING to do with war - it was extermination of the "unwanted."
Let's put it in today's language. It's like looting and destroying stores owned by latinos, imprisoning them, killing them - and then the insurance carriers refusing to pay for the damages and life insurance that may exist.
I'm not talking about the illegal folks; I'm talking about this being done to legal citizens of this country (as the Jews were of Germany).
If this happened, wouldn't we, as a civilized people, expect reparations for these claims - regardless of how long it takes? If not, you've got a mean streak a mile wide.
